#dedicationoftheday

As some of you may know I work with books so every day I come across different dedications in books. Some are really funny, some are lovely, other make you think. So today I thought I'll start something of my own. Woo-hoo!

Dedication of the day (DOTD) 1 28/1/21

I thought I'll start with @laurenjames dedication from The Reckless Afterlife of Harriet Stoker.

"For my friends, who have never once tried to murder me."

That one make me laugh lol

What do you think of today's dedication?

Dedication of the day (DOTD) 10 6/2/21

Today's dedication is from Matt Abbot and his book of poems A Hurricane In My Head. Oh the good old days when we didn't have mobile phones (let alone smart phones lol).

What do you think of today's dedication? Are you old enough to remember the time when not everybody had a phone?

Dedication of the day 44 12/03/21

Today's dedication is from Only Mostly Devastated by Sophie Gonzales.

To everyone who, in their quest to be cared for by another, forgot to care for themselves. Your needs matter, too.

I will only add you can't pour from an empty cup. You need to care for yourself too.

Dedication of the day 47 15/03/21

Today's dedication is from You Must be Layla by Yassmin Abdel-Magied.

To all the young girls of the diaspora*

*The author is Sudanese

Internet is an interesting thing and sometimes we don't realise that we interact with people from all around the world. Do I have any Sudanese followers here?

Dedication of the day 36 04/03/21

Today's dedication is from Raybearer by Jordan Ifuenko.

For the kid scanning fairy tales for a hero with a face like theirs.

And for the girls whose stories we compressed into pitties and wonders, triumphs and cautions, without asking, even once, for their names.

Dedication of the day (DOTD) 7 3/2/21

Today's dedication is from The Wintertime Paradox by Dave Rudden. I have to say that I've never read a fan fiction. I think I'm a bit conservative regarding this and I like to stick to whatever the original author has to say. But I would never say writing fan fiction is a waste of time, anyone has the right to like whatever they want.

Dedication of the day 27 23/02/21

Today's dedication is from The Unlisted Book Two - Rebellion by Justine Flynn and Chris Kunz which apparently is also on Netflix.

Dedicated to the young people who are brave enough to question the status quo - the future belongs to you
